COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cask; Seasonal - Spring/Summer.
A ruby red bitter, made with special coloured malts. A very rich malt character, which gives an impression of a stronger beer than its 4.2% ABV. Made with an American hop variety, the beer is an interesting departure from the norm, demonstrating a wide spectrum of unusual floral flavour notes which appeal to the ale drinker who is looking for something a little more cerebral than the usual session strength style beers. The hop is out there somewhere . . . Originally brewed as a one off, demand has led to permanent production. NOT BOTTLED

A Mes rate: cask at Baker St. ’sporks.
A semi hazy copper colour with a very thin beige head. Good blend of floral hops and rich bready malt on the nose. Similar flavour. Wholemeal bread with some dried fruits and a citric finish. Straight forward but well balanced and tasty.

DonMagi (5599) - bantervile, Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - SEP 14, 2008
Cask at the Alfred Herring. Aroma is malty, ruby sweetish malts, theres some earthy peppery character too. Taste is similar, good malt character and a fruityness which in a round about way and since im scottish cant help but feel like iron bru due to the peppery bitterness left on your tongue. Quite a good bitter, infact sack it im in the house by myself since the wifes away and iv nothing to do im away for another few.
